The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1), observed in > 90% of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients, results from a specific chromosomal translocation involving the c-abl gene. The translocation breakpoint occurs near c-abl and correlates with the production of an altered c-abl mRNA. In the CML-derived cell line K562, Ph1 is accompanied by a structurally altered c-abl protein (P210c-abl) with in vitro tyrosine kinase activity not detected with the normal c-abl protein (P145c-abl). The c-abl proteins were examined in other Ph1-positive CML cell lines and found that they all express P210c-abl. P210c-abl was also detected in bone marrow cells from CML patients with Ph1 in the accelerated and blast crisis phases of the disease. Comparison of the [35S]Met-labeled tryptic peptides generated from the normal P145c-abl and P210c-abl showed that they have closely related structures, but additional polypeptide sequences are present in P210c-abl. Based on these results, translocation of c-abl in Ph1-positive CML probably results in the creation of a chimeric gene leading to the production of a structurally altered c-abl protein with activated tyrosine kinase activity. The altered P210 c-abl protein is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of CML.
